It is needed to prevent a reduction from the current level of Federal law enforcement activity. I should note that it brings funding to the level proposed by the administration. Second. the amendment provides for a $100 million additional increase for the Drug Enforcement Administration. the Federal Bureau of Investigation. and the Immigration and Naturalization Service. These funds are to be used for additional DEA and FBI agents. antidrug smuggling operations to be coordinated with the Armed Forces. and additional efforts to combat illegal immigration. I appreciate the cooperation of the Senator from New Mexico on this amendment. While I recognize that this is an amendment to a budget resolution and that there is no guarantee the money will be used as intended.
